took place at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square on Monday night where hundreds of gamers gathered to ring in the release of Epic Games' latest installment in the chainsawing saga. Among the aspiring COG were Epic developers (including none other than Cliffy B), cosplayers, Big Sean, and a ton of drunks who didn't miss a beat at the open bar.

After standing in line for nearly the entire day and watching the constant loop of TV Land's advertisement for Horde mode, watch rapper Big Sean perform, or drink by themselves at the aforementioned bar. Most people, however, took to the stations.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution's story is about to get bigger with The Missing Link, a new downloadable content adventure. We take a look.

While there apparently were different levels and missions that had been cut from the game earlier in development some two years ago, once the team started looking at that cut content earlier this year, it was immediately obvious that none of that older content could possibly be salvaged because it had been based on older technical revisions of the game's engine. As such, The Missing Link, and any other DLC Eidos Montreal decides to put out in the future, will be new stuff--not something from the cutting-room floor from years back. The studio estimates that a straightforward playthrough with little experimentation will take most players about three hours, though with careful exploration and some eavesdropping, the experience may end up ranging from five to seven hours in length. The DLC will become available for the PC, the Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3 next month.
